Frequently Asked Questions — Deck Oiling in Cheltenham
How often should I oil my deck in Cheltenham?+
Most Melbourne decks need oiling every 1–2 years depending on sun exposure and foot traffic. North-facing decks in full sun need more frequent attention. Antonio can advise the right schedule for your specific deck.
What deck oil do you use in Cheltenham?+
We use premium penetrating deck oils suited to your timber type. We're happy to discuss product preferences during the quote — we work with several quality brands.
Can you oil a deck in winter in Cheltenham?+
Yes, with some conditions. The timber must be completely dry and temperatures above 10°C. We'll advise on timing to ensure the best possible result for your deck.
Do I need to clean the deck before oiling in Cheltenham?+
Absolutely — cleaning before oiling is essential. Applying oil to a dirty deck traps grime and the finish fails quickly. Our service includes full cleaning and preparation before any oil is applied.
